Valerie Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Home edition SP.3+Is it possible to alter settings in an installed system by using a live cd or other method(s) to access the installed system?Example: If a system blue screens at startup when the "Automatically Restart" box is checked can that setting be altered (unchecked) using a live cd or perhaps slaving the system drive and accessing on another pc?Thanks.

Tripredacus Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 If you want to change anything in the registry, you can use a WinPE CD or the slave drive idea to load the registry hive of the affected system. I mostly use this method to interrupt automation during testing by removing RunOnce commands but you can change anything you need to. If your setting is usually in a CurrentControlSet, you may want to read up on that because it will not appear the same as a loaded hive as if you were viewing it from the host RegEdit.
